The new contracts are expected to boost Ericsson’s revenue next year after seeing a big fall in contracts from India in the first half of the year.
Sales in Southeast Asia, Oceania, and India had decreased by 44% in the second quarter. Ericsson will announce its third-quarter results on Tuesday.
Much of the deployment is likely to happen next year, according to one source familiar with the matter.
Shares in Ericsson rose as much as 1.8% after the Reuters story.
Global telecom equipment revenue had dropped 16% year-over-year in the second quarter, recording a fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit contractions, according to research firm Dell’Oro.
